Question

While shopping at store, Billy

found a $900 television that was on
sale at a discount rate of 30%. What
is the amount of discount?

Answer 1

(900) .3 = 270
$900 30% = $270 discount

Answer 2

A. 270

Explanation:

30% can be rewritten as 3/10

To multiply 900 by 3/10, just divide by 10 (90) and multiply by 3 (270)

Therefore, the answer is A. 270

Bonus: To find the actual price, just subtract this amount (270) from the original price (900).

The television costs $630.
